NC State Fair
Last weekend we made a trip to North Carolina to visit Aunt Stephanie. We all had a blast at the state fair. Personally, I have to say that a deep fried slice of pecan pie is the funnest thing I have ever eaten. Photo Credits to Steph.

High Bridge Trail
We had an awesome day trip to Farmville, Virginia and a bike ride along the High Bridge Trail. We did a 9 mile roundtrip. We thought that was pretty good for our first big bike outing.
As you might guess, the trail features a bridge that is very high- over the Appomattox River. This bridge was used by both the Confederate and the Union forces in the last days of the civil war. |
A fun picture
This was a slightly older picture, I forgot about. Definitely worth a post. This was at the Richmond Flying Squirrels game.

Belle Isle
We try to make a trip to Belle Isle at least once a year. Last week we went to climb around on the rocks and some of these post-modern ruins.

Teton Vacation
Wow! What an awesome week. We spent a week with the whole van der Horst family in Jackson, Wyoming. We had a lot of adventures. We saw beautiful scenery. We dressed up like cowboys. We got a lift to the very top of the peaks and hiked in the mountains. We got to do a family adventure climb. We went floating down a lazy river and through white water rapids. We spent a lot of fun time with family, playing games and hanging out.
The whole gang. |
This old barn made a great photo spot with the Tetons right there in the background. |
A stop on our driving tour of the area. |
A view from the top of the mountain in Teton Village. We rode a tram to the top of the mountain then hiked down to another gondola which took us the rest of the way down the mountain. |
We saw a variety of alpine scenery. |
It was the season for wildflowers. |
And we found a patch of snow- enough for a little snowball fight. |
The gondola ride back down. |
Getting the boat ready for our lazy river float trip. |
The water was cold but refreshing. Jen is ready to get back in now. |
The first stop on our 6 mile hike. |
More scenery. |
We made it to Phelps Lake. |
This was our whitewater trip on the Snake River |
Laurel and all the girls. |
The whole family gathered at the lodge. |
We caught a pig wrestling competition in Jackson. |
We got to take the whole family on a climbing adventure this year. |
A good looking bunch of cowboys. |
